Fraser Park Restaurant

After reading several posts on Food For Buddha about Fraser Park Restaurant, Marv ‘n I knew we had to go check it out! Thanks to google maps, we were able to find the place pretty easily. I like how it can zoom into the street view and you can see what ‘landmarks’ are surrounding it to spot it more easily.

Fraser Park Restaurant4663 Byrne Rd, Burnaby BC
Tel#: (604) 433-7605

We thought it would not be too busy by mid morning, but we were definitely wrong! The parking lot was filled and the place was packed! There were no empty tables available, and a line of customers hawking for an empty table to become available. There was even a table with a ‘reserved’ sign! 🙂

Upon entering the place, make sure you read the sign posted on the wall to your right(and not be distracted by the ambiance), otherwise you may be standing around waiting for awhile.

The menu is listed on the board above the front counter. I normally don’t enjoy ordering food in a cafeteria type setting, but this place will be my exception!

We felt a bit overwhelmed with the amount of people in the restaurant. I don’t like to fight for tables either, so I think the next time, I’ll try to avoid peak times. We ended up ordering our food to go, since there were no tables available. Our food ended up taking quite a while as there was a large amount of customers on this day, however, the reserved table(who ordered after us) ended up getting their food before us.

After awhile, I spotted an empty table outside, and thought it would be better to have the full experience since we were already here. I had to hold the table while Marv went and got the food inside. I’m glad it turned out to be a really sunny day(a bit chilly when a breeze went by), but still nice. There was also music playing in the background.

I was surprised at the portion size once I opened up the box. Everything smelled so good!! Marv tried to steal my breakfast before he even opened up his container. Luckily I already anticipated his move and quickly moved it out of his arms reach! 🙂 Everything was so good! There’s a huge pile of potatoes on the bottom! Yummy =)

Marv ordered the Clubhouse Sandwich with Fries.

The sandwich was enormous! Triple decker with huge tomato slices that could almost count as a 4th level lol 🙂 The turkey was a bit dry though, but Anton came over and INSISTED that we try his homemade chili sauce and mayo! Shortly after, he returned to our table with a generous helping of the chili and mayo. He was proud of his new Cooking With Anton show partnered with Food For Buddha and we talked a bit about his latest video on the Mayo Recipe. Luckily we had just watched the video the night before and knew what he was talking about…heh heh double dipping… lol! 🙂

The sauce above is what was brought to our table by Anton. The homemade chili and mayo were delicious! Upon first taste, the chili sauce is quite spicy, however Marv devoured the entire thing along with his sandwich! Jeez, talk about sharing, so I took this golden opportunity to steal the mayo while he was distracted with the chili sauce! Buddha Boy is right.. this mayo goes with EVERYTHING! Seriously, everything!

Clearly we both enjoyed each of the sauces! This is a must to add-on! =)

So, I also wanted to try out some of their baked goods, so we got a slice of the Banana Loaf and a White Chocolate Macademia Nut Cookie. The banana loaf was quite fresh, very moist and soft. The cookie was just alright.

Anton is quite a friendly guy! He came by to check on how we were doing a couple of times, I enjoyed his witty jokes 🙂 He also gave us a sample of a freshly made sausage from this morning. Hands down, we absolutely loved it! We also decided to order some food to go for Marvs family. Above right is the Split Pea Soup. This was very hearty and super tasty! It’s not something we would normally order at a restaurant, but this was delicious! This was practically on every table in the place 🙂

We also ordered a Beef Dip. The portion is huge! 2 huge buns?? I’ve never seen any other place do this 🙂 Marvs family offered me a bite and it made me wish I ordered this instead! The dip was a bit thicker and had so much flavour! I already told Marv that this is what I’m ordering the next time we come! Marv also ordered the German Breakfast to go as it was such a filling/hearty breakfast enough to feed 2 people. 🙂

Before today, Marv hated breakfast food, always made a scowl and NOW?!?!?!?! HE LOVES IT! I have no complaints about this place besides their business hours! Lol, luckily this place is along my commute to work, so I’ll be able to drop by for breakfast! =) HAHA, take that Marv! =D

Munchies, glad you agree that Anton’s is pretty good. I’m a bit surprised Marv ordered the clubhouse, it’s such a ‘generic’ sandwich. We love the hamburger (make sure you add bacon, extra porkiness is always good) and the breakfast. I’m thinking of having the pork dip next time…with bacon…and maybe add sausage…for a triple pork attack.

We even like the daily specials, but there isn’t any on the weekends. My ATF was the coq au vin, but since I don’t work in the area anymore, I haven’t had it since 2005.

Marv, are you still in for a Flatline Burger challenge? We’re looking to coordinate on a Sunday.

Marv ordered the clubhouse sandwich cause he wasn’t feeling up for a heavy meal lol I’ve been reading up on the hamburger too per your posts and it looks really good! He’s already decided to order that the next time we go! (actually, he’s already decided to go again this coming saturday lol)

When you visit on the weekdays, is it still fairly busy? I work semi close and was wondering how quickly I can be in/out on my lunch break =)

Marv says he’s still up for the burger challenge but if it’s on a sunday, then he would only be able to do it around lunchtime if that’s okay? Are there more competitors?? =)

We’re trying to coordinate the Flatline challenge with one of the Panda Boys, he only missed the challenge by a few seconds apparently. Buddha Girl and eescorpius will be rooting us on. I have to contact the Panda Boys to see what’s good for them.

I haven’t been to Fraser Park on a weekday in a number of years, so I don’t know how busy it can get.

Do you subscribe to Anton’s weekly specials? he emails his specials every sunday for the coming week.

Nope, I don’t subscribe to it, actually I didn’t even know I could lol, I’ll check that out right now!

Sounds good BG! Thurs/fri nights, sat anytime and sunday lunch would work for us, buuut if you’re thinking about this week(then fri night and sat lunch) doesn’t work for us. Eeps, is that confusing? lolol

My favorite is the HamBurger …with BACON!!! LOL! And their soups…I don’t usually like western-style soups but so far, I enjoyed every single soup that I had there!!! They have this lamb soup (can’t recall the exact name of it)…it’s so good!!! I was quite reluctant at first to try it because it’s lamb in soup…so I made MukMuk-D try it first…he loved it…then I took a sip…and I fell in love with it too!!! Hehehehehe!!!

haha we’ll be sure to add BACON with the hamburger! 🙂 I can’t wait to try their soups too! I had a spoonful of the split pea and that was already so delicious!! 🙂 We should all go together next time! lol =)

sorry folks for the long wait…on top of that some people came in after you and got their food first. I hate when this happen to me too!
What sould I say?
Fraser Park Restaurant may have only one star, but it’s BIG and very bright!
It’s the Love of cooking and compassion.
I will try make good for this on your next visit.
cheers,

Oh no, don’t worry about the long wait, we completely understand how busy it was. We hold nothing against the restaurant at all, just had to be honest about our experience. Once we had our first bite, we were completely focused on how great everything tastes and making plans on what to try next time, see you again real soon! 🙂
